Creating calculated table from parameter slicers

PBIX link is here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/41rckk17i870t2v/Slicer%20to%20Create%20Calculated%20Table.pbix?dl=0

 

I have 3 parameters: 

  1. Slicer - Lease Term
  2. Acquisition Cost
  3. Revenue as % of Acquisition Cost

 

I'd like to create a calculated table where the SELECTEDVALUE of the lease term dictates the number of rows and the Acquisition Cost and Revenue as % of Acquisition Cost are repeated as separate columns.  Example desired output is shown here:

 

Lease TermAcquisition CostRevenue %
13000.02
23000.02
33000.02
43000.02
53000.02
63000.02
73000.02
83000.02
93000.02
103000.02
113000.02
123000.02

 

Here's an image of the visuals showing the Parameter Slicers.  The lower left-hand corner is the calculated table, where I have SELECTEDVALUES({parameter},999) and it's defaulting as if nothing is selected.  The table at lower center shows the Measures of the slicer parameters.

Thanks in advance!

Hey,

this will not work, as calculated tables are only recalculated on data refresh.
Calculated tables only "react" on user interactions, e.g. selecting values from a slicer inside a measure.

I'm a bit confused about your comment: "Calculated tables only "react" on user interactions, e.g. selecting values from a slicer inside a measure."

 

If my user changes the slicer, which changes the related measure, then I want to populate a column with the value in that measure.  

 

To simplify, let's assume I had a table with one index column: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.  When I change the slicer from "A" to "B", I want the column "Slicer" to change from A to B for each 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.

 

e.g.: Existing

IndexSlicer
1A
2A
3A
4A
5A
6A

 

user changes slicer from "A" to "B"

 

new calculated table:

 

IndexSlicer
1B
2B
3B
4B
5B
6B
